Why do I get a "Permission Denied" error when importing an obj file?
You are getting this error because your user doesn't have permission to read the file. In your specific case, there dosen't seem to be a problem with the permissions of the file itself but rather with its containing directory.


To view or change permissions, right-click the file in Windows Explorer, click Properties, click the Security tab, and select your username in the "Group or user names" pane.
One workaround that doesn't involve fiddling with permissions is to copy the file to somewhere else with Windows explorer.
